Egg hunt

So the community egg hunt was a week late this year because of the big wind/snow storm that we had the day before Easter this year. We always have so much fun.

The girls with the Easter Bunny...Natalia hated it and was screaming of coarse

Daddy helping Natalia with her egg hunt...she was so excited about all the eggs

The girls counting their eggs and getting candy out of the eggs

This is where Vanessa was on her hunt...somehow this year we ended up with all three girls in a different location for there egg hung so it made it fun to see them all.

Science Fair

We all survived the science fair this year. I hated the science fair growing up so I am very thankful that Ryan loves it. A few weeks ago Vanessa came home with a paper saying for the 3rd graders they were going to have an egg drop and you had to package the egg so it wouldn't break. I laughed at Ryan and Vanessa and said good luck. So one night Ryan and Vanessa got prepared...

Step 1: they put a raw egg in a ziploc bag so that it wouldn't leak everywhere if broke.

Step 2: Put the egg in a pair of nylons with knots at both ends

Step 3: Put the nylons inside of a punching balloon (it was tied so that it stayed in the middle of the balloon

Step 4: Put a weight (dirt) on one end of the balloon so that it would fall that way.

Step 5: cross your fingers it worked....

here is Vanessa and Ryan looking at everything after the drop.

Here is The drop

Well sadly it didn't work but happy to say that it just had a teeny tiny crack in it. They know what to do for Trista's now :)

Easter 2010

We cannot believe that Easter has already come and gone. Time is going by way to fast. I thought that you would like to see how our Easter was...We got up to some very excited girls seeing that the Easter Bunny had been to our house (he hides our eggs and leaves a couple of goodies, the rest is from mom and dad).

This is Trista and Vanessa at my parents house, my mom loves hiding eggs for the kids this year there was still a little snow on the ground (yuck).

Natalia was so excited to find eggs on her own even the ones high :) then later to discover there is candy in them she was in heaven lol.

Natalia, Trista and Vanessa at my moms with presents...later my mom brought out big presents the big girls got pogo sticks and Natalia a wagon with blocks. We now laugh because the pogo sticks are Ryan and I's because my mom bought them at a store going out of business and bought them to big and the kids can't use them. I am lucky to get them to bounce. What a work out that is for sure :)

Natalia loved her presents...yep those are blue drum sticks behind her. That was her dad's idea since we discovered how much she has used the Wii drum sticks and even broke one she plays with them so much so these are getting well used now...yep and a bag of cookies lets just say they are gone now :) she is defiantly her mother's kid "Cookie Monster"

Here is our adorable girls easter morning. The big girls got new shirts from Mima a few days before and thought it would be great to match since we were going to my cousin's house for Easter dinner later that day. Easter was a blast.
